Till the coming of new day
In the night of life
Hope seems small and quiet
And shivers before the wind
That cuts to the bone
And clings like a tight fitting coat
That cuts off all movement
But never brings enough warmth.
Sadness
Brings its own night
Its’ clock seems somehow stilled
And day
A tissue-paper memory
That comes apart in our hands
As we try to bring it close and real
Weariness hangs in the air
And is in every breath
As hearts
Grow tired and slow
And wonder at
The absence of the sun
Reaching in the dark
For new places
We feel like we are
One mistake from
Being forever lost
And stop fearful
Afraid to move
Dear God
Move among the shadows
Of our despair
Show us in Your love
That darkness is
Only of the moment
And that in reaching
To each other there
Is warmth and comfort
And the assurance of
New day and new light
God bless us
And leave us assured
That even in the coldest and darkest
Of nights
That You give warmth and shelter
Till the coming of new day..
